TO ALLWHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, DANIEL DENNETTpof Buxton,in*-the count y of York,.and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Tipping Wagon; and I do hereby declare that the following is a t'ull, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference .being had, to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view; and

Figure 2, aside view, with the wagon tipped up.

The object of this invention is to facilitate the unloading of the wagon. This is accomplished by its tipping between the axle-trees of the fore and rear wheels.

The beams, A A, are made of iron or wood, and are fastened to the top of the rear axle and to the rockers of the front axle, and are made strong enough to sustain the entire burden of the load. They are perforated to admit the ends of the rod, B, which passes under the wagon from the beam, A, to the beam, A, on the opposite side. The rod, B, is the axis upon which the body of the wagon tips in unloading. The tail-board, D, is fastened to the rear axle with hinges, and is provided with side-boards out obliquely to fit the side-boards of the wagon, which are cut obliquely to enablethe body to tip without hitting the rear axle-tree. The springs, E, are attached to the body and catch at the top of the beani, A, .to prevent the body from tipping up except in unloading. The arm, C, fastens up the tail-boaid, and the staple, F, receives the arm, C, and holds the tailboard firmly when it' is necessary to let it down on. a plane with the bottom of the wagon. In othefirespeets this wagon is notpeculiar.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. I claim the tail-board D, with its oblique sides so arranged as to enable the body to tip between the fore ,and rear axles of the wagon, substantially as described.

2, I claim the combination of the tail-board D, with its oblique sides, beams A A, and rod B, all arranged as described, for the purposes specified.
